Camp Kwiyamuntsi annually invites Southern Paiute youth to connect with teams of Elders and Agency Leaders (NPS, USFS, BLM) to learn traditional practices while receiving meaningful mentorship in public lands careers. Join us as we share how agency leaders and Zion Forever collaborated with Tribal Councils to collectively create the first-ever programmatic evaluation of this top-priority project. Come to learn how Paiute youth feedback is guiding agency leaders to improve a signature initiative in real-time, how documenting achieved outcomes is strengthening the nonprofit work of Zion Forever, and importantly, how your agency and nonprofit partnership can do the same.
Target Audiences: Agency Management, Agency Field Staff, Executive Directors/CEOs, Program Staff/Field Practitioners
Learning Level: Beginner (101 level)
